Light & Lacy Crochet Baby Blanket

Baby pink, sage green and a soft cream come together to make a delightful crochet baby blanket. I may have put too many stitches on the sides because it made for a ruffled border, which is fine because I think it looks cute that way! The pattern is quite easy!

Create this light-weight, wonderful crochet blanket in a matter of hours! Slanted shell clusters with small blocks of double crochets in a lacy form make this a super easy blanket to whip up!

Use it was a great tummy-time blanket or make it longer for the perfect lounge chair lapghan on a cool Summer night!

You can make it in the colors shown here, or use your favorite "cake" yarn for non-stop crocheting fun!
